Manchester United delivered a devastating statement of Premier League intent Sunday when they beat title rivals Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

United produced a superb attacking display with a Nani cross being turned into his own net by goalkeeper Manuel Almunia after 33 minutes and Wayne Rooney starting and finishing a devastating counter-attack four minutes later.

Park Ji-sung got the third seven minutes into the second half and Arsenal, who missed several good early chances through Andrei Arshavin, never threatened a comeback despite Thomas Vermaelen's deflected volley 10 minutes from time.

Chelsea, who won 2-1 with a late goal at Burnley on Saturday, top the standings on 54 points, one ahead of United and five clear of Arsenal. Chelsea have a game in hand on both rivals.
